In an early ruling Judge Linda Parker in Detroit denies Sidney Powell's emergency motion to overturn Michigan election.
"The right to vote is among the most sacred rights of our democracy and, in turn, uniquely defines us as Americans." she writes.

This was the first judicial ruling on Powell's 4 "kraken" conspiracy cases around the country.
Judge Parker's reasoning was comprehensive, including that the suit was moot after Michigan certified its vote last month.
"This ship has sailed."

Judge Parker also found Powell's claims untimely.
"They waited too long to knock on the court's door."

A little judicial snark from Judge Parker here.
The suit also failed because the plaintiffs, Republican candidates for presidential electors, couldn't state a federal claim and had no standing.
That doesn't bode well for Powell's other suits, all of which make the same legal arguments.

Judge Parker doesn't weigh in on the crazy voting machine conspiracy theory Powell has made in this suit and the others.
Then again, she doesn't need to. She finds that on the law alone the plaintiffs aren't only unlikely to succeed in the matter but "are from likely to succeed."
